I'm interested in putting together a Northern California Tomato Tasting for 2014. All details are still open to discussion, but tentatively I'd reserve an appropriately sized picnic area in Tilden Park (in the hills above Berkeley) for a Saturday or Sunday in the end of August or beginning of September.

Would there be interest in this? Am I stepping on someone else's toes?

I went ahead and reserved a site in Tilden Park for Saturday August 9. We have a picnic area for 35 for the entire day. I need to be there by 10:30 am to "claim" it, but the event can start whenever we want. If 30 days before the event it seems like we'll have more people, I can bump up to a larger site (depending on availability). If it's only a handful, I'll cancel the reservation and host it at home. They are going to send me some forms to fill out and return. I'll start a new thread to announce the date when I've done so.
